Night Flyers
- Silk screen on French paper
- 12.5 x 48.5 in
- Hannah Moog
As the front cover is spun four characters fly through the night sky: the Moon, Star Chaser and His Star, No Name Angel and the Wanderer and Her Steed. Each of the four interior spreads features one of these Night Flyers and their small story. The back side of the accordion features an additional flying character following and then catching up to one of the shooting stars in the cover. The accordion book and spinning vovelle cover mechanism are constructed entirely out of paper. One in an edition of twelve.
In my work I create a unified folktale for myself; one that touches on my lineage, childhood, and relationships. I make humorous and exaggerated interpretations of my relationships and feelings towards my loved ones. I work in the interactive mediums of books and garments because I find these processes to be deeply satisfying in that someone has to physically touch, unfold, and uncover the object to understand the work. I believe that this interaction creates life in these inanimate objects. In all the mediums my work takes, I aim to create an experience of connection and magic with my viewer that conveys the love and wonder that my characters experience in their world.
